One of the main themes in this book is that all families are different but they also have similarities. Each student in the book describes something special or different about their family but underneath those details the reader sees the similarities. Come together as a class to discuss families. Ask students what makes their family special. What do they love most about their family? How is their family like other families? How is it different? Do students have a different idea of what a family is now that they have read this book?
